KY Women Writer's Conference

My sister-in-law, Ashleigh, is interning for the Kentucky Women Writer's Conference this September 15th-18th at UK. http://www.uky.edu/WWK/about.html In addition to great authors, poets, visual artists, and filmmakers, there are book discussions, fiction, non-fiction, and poetry contests ($10 entry postmarked by July 1), as well as an (optional?) luncheon. The coolest thing about the conference is that all of the evening events are free, but if you are willing to pay $150 (and I am oh so willing) you can sign up for two writing workshops that take place during the day with the different authors. They suggest registering for the workshops as quickly as possible as space is limited, and the full workshop schedule will be out in July. I definitely plan to go, and I plan to see if any of the other lit alumni are interested in splitting hotel costs, but I thought that you might be interested in going or taking students. It really looks like it will be a fantastic conference, and I'm so excited that she will be working on it. I'm going to start working on my contest submissions right away. And here I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find anything to do after graduation! If you could pass this along, I would be very grateful, and if nothing else, I can potentially provide a ride to anyone that is wishing to go independently.
